Sun, Sea & Sex at the Southwold Literature Festival

Ways With Words
Southwold Literature Festival
11-15 November 2010

It’s not often you find a literature festival serving up sun, sea and sex to its audiences.  After all, there has never been much of a crossover between your typical lit. fest. crowd and the average 18-30 holiday scene.  What’s more, mid-November on the tempestuous Suffolk coast may not seem the most obvious setting for such a summery mix of pleasures.   But the Southwold Literature Festival programme (11-15 November) promises all of this and more this winter.
 
 

Southwold Literature Festival 11-15 November 2010
